ABSTRACT:
A connectorized cable includes a cable having a plurality of conductors (28-28) each of which is disposed in a tortuous path through a conductor-receiving groove (71) and an associated aligned opening between teeth (37-37) of an elongated connector which is made of a dielectric material. The grooves are formed along a shelf (45) which is spaced below the openings between the teeth. Portions (79-79) of the groove walls (73-73) are sheared to form latching tabs which are deflected inwardly into securing engagement with the conductors in the grooves and which cause portions of the conductors to extend into apertures at the bottoms of the grooves. The tortuous path of each conductor and the deflected tab portions of the walls cooperate to cause the conductor to be maintained within its groove and to prevent its inadvertent movement. Because of its connection to a wall of the connector and the interposition of displaced plastic material between it and the wall, each tab is locked in engagement with a conductor.
